Google video embedding

Brunhilda 13 Dec 2009 00:39

I had this video embedded a long time ago:
http://istorijska-biblioteka.wikidot.com/video:islam (click second tab)

So, I figured it that I can embed Google video. But it seems that not anymore:

http://istorijska-biblioteka.wikidot.com/video:salvador-aljende (click on the second tab)

I looked for any difference in the code, but I cannot see it. Yet, the first video works, and the second not. Anyone can see where the problem is?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what might have changed, but it seems may services change their embed methods and that can cause problems with the services supported by the embedvideo syntax.

I just tested it using the good old code block / iframe method and it works fine. Just change the [[embedvideo]]...[[/embedvideo]] to [[code type="html"]]...[[/code]], drop the Google embed code inside and add the iframe with the correct URL and code block. For example:

[!--
[[code type="html"]]
<embed id=VideoPlayback src=http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docid=7641386701194606949&hl=es&fs=true style=width:400px;height:326px allowFullScreen=true allowScriptAccess=always type=application/x-shockwave-flash> </embed>
[[/code]]
--]
[[=]]
[[iframe http://istorijska-biblioteka.wikidot.com/video:salvador-aljende/code/1 width="425px" height="350px" frameborder="0"]]
